Dear Olive,
I read an article several years ago about a famous architect whose parents refused to buy him toys as a child. Instead they bought him any materials he requested and insisted that he make his own toys. The kids were clammering about buying a new stuffed animal and; using the above practice, we made our own instead.
They really got into choosing their colors and stitching the creatures.
We drew and cut the dogs. This was a first sewing experience for all.
They've been carrying their pets around all day.
This is my first step to my dream of increased child labor in our household.
